Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

To add, it's not Ronaldo's fault for Al Nassr's failure; the culprit is the management, who didn't hire a coach who had achieved great success in different leagues, including the Saudi Arabian league. You can't expect a team to win titles just because they have the best player in the world. PSG is showing this in practice; even without Messi, Neymar, or Mbappe, they're performing much better compared to when they had these three good players.
Exactly. We can't blame Ronaldo due to the failure of Al Nassr in the last few seasons. It is also the mistake of the club management because they couldn't build the team with proper players. IMHO, Al Nassr only focuses to improve the attacking line, they forget to improve the quality players in the midfield and defense line. Yep, this also happened in PSG. Even if they had Mbappe-Messi-Neymar at that time, they still failed to shine in UCL because they have no proper players in the other lines. Also, the coach factor also takes the role because he is the one who applies the tactics and formation. A coach will also ensure that all players can cooperate as a solid team.

So, Al Nassr's management needs to see PSG's case as a great concrete example that the most important thing in a team is the coach. If they hire an inexperienced coach or one who has only achieved success in one league, they won't be able to handle Al Nassr well and, as a consequence, they won't be able to achieve anything great.
I agree that Al Nassr management needs to take a lesson from PSG case in the past. However I think it is not only about the coach, but it is also about improving all the lines of the teams.

Re: AI for sports prediction.

We all know how good AI is with a lot of things however when it comes to sports prediction I don't think is something we should put how hope's on because it will never give you a correct prediction. I decided to try it out one day and I lost, now when you ask AI for prediction about the outcome of a football match it will give you the statistics and analysis the current form of each of the teams and then give you it's prediction, ~~
AI is just a tool to help human. We can't rely on AI for everything. Predicting the result of sports match is actually beyond of AI ability, AI can't guess the future. You have proven yourself that AI can't do it, so it is clear that we mustn't rely on AI for sport prediction/betting. It will be always better to use our own analysis when we want to bet on sports matches. Human can do a more complex analysis, meanwhile AI has some limitations. For example when we want to bet a football match, AI probably will only use the statistics of the previous matches and the old data of the teams. This is not a really effective way because we must also need to consider other factors like the current issues of the teams.

Re: gambling in prison

I have volunteered as a prison teacher and my job was to teach prisoners in a school. The prison is totally another world and you will begin to wonder how they survive in such conditions.  In this prison, everything, including drug use, gambling, prostitution, cultism, and others, exists. I have never seen people gambling since I am not allowed to visit their cells, but I have firsthand information that they gamble with money, food items, clothing, bed space, and anything that has value. You can gamble with a comfortable sleeping space and sleep on the floor if you lose. I might not be surprised that gambling exists in the afterlife  Grin.
I'm not really surprised with this. However, is this happening in all the prisons around the world? If this happen in almost all the prisons, the prisons never function as it should be. Instead of changing to be a better one, they probably become worse poeple while in prison. It's no wonder they can gamble in prison because things like drugs or sex also exist. By the way, teaching them will be useless if they are still involved with those activities, right?

Smuggling something from outside to inside of prisons is usual things to do so that will not be a problem for them. Bribing the guards is also help them to get what they want from the outside.
This is a common fact. It's very unfortunate that prison guards are still bribeable, so anything can still be done in prison. Even gambling with anything, it is quite possible as long as the prison guards are easily bribed.

Have you ever been in a situation where you took a big loss. clearly because of your own mistake but instead of owning it, you ended up blaming the casino? Maybe made some excuses just to avoid feeling stupid?
If someone experienced a big lose, it is because he did an excessive gambling. It is his own mistake, he can't control himself. It is important to have a limitation of the fund using for gambling. This will avoid the excessive gambling, so won't lose huge money. It is also necessary to have the right mindset about gambling, we never try to chase the prizes in a careless way. As long as we do this and we have a healthy way in gambling, I'm sure we won't experience that big lose.

Those people who blame casinos, they probably don't understand the nature of gambling. They may think gambling is an easy way to earn money, but it is actually a wrong mindset. We all know that the luck factor is the main factor in determining the winning in gambling. So, we have no way to ensure winning the gambling games. Understanding this matter, it is just strange that someone forces himself to use huge money instantly. As a gambler, we must be wise in managing our money for gambling.

Rodrygo to the EPL feel realistic as days go by, five games and counting that Rodrygo has being on the bench without playing and today Fabrizio Romano has posted that Real Madrid has told him that he can leave the club which means it is green light for Arsenal to try and make a deal with Real Madrid for his signature.
I'm not sure it will be realistic because Real Madrid only wants to accept the minimum offer around €100 million. Arsenal may be interested to sign him but I doubt that Arsenal can pay €100 million for another new winger. Moreover they have paid Madueke with £50 million, Madueke has the same position as Rodrygo. I think Arsenal will prefer to focus on signing a new striker than adding another new right winger. Well, only Man City which probably can sign him Rodrygo, but they also have enough right wingers.  Undecided

- https://www.justarsenal.com/the-financial-breakdown-of-the-cost-of-arsenals-move-for-madueke/396431


I don’t think anyone will even think Madueke will replace saka, what is Madueke playing that will make him replace saka, which player will Arsenal even be signing that will replace saka for now? I don’t think there is any player, Madueke is just a backup player, and am sure they won’t be using saka frequently again, matches which they known that it won’t really be difficult for them, am sure they will bench saka and use Madueke, or maybe when Arsenal are already winning confidently, then they will bring Madueke into the match.
Of course, it is just impossible that Madueke replaces Saka. Saka will be always the main option for the right winger, meanwhile Martinelli is the main player in the left winger. Madueke probably becomes the substituted player of these players only. Madueke must accept that he may not play regularly as the starter. He must already realize this condition before he accepted Arsenal offer.

He never thought it was easy I believe. What's different is the significant public pressure after only one game is lost.
Sure, Xabi must be aware that it won't be easy to be a Real Madrid coach. Moreover, he needs to lead Real Madrid facing PSG. PSG is in their best form, all the players are on fire. It will be always difficult to beat a team in their best form. Meanwhile Real Madrid isn't in a good condition, many of the players get difficulty to play in their best form. They are also still adapting with the new tactic and formation applied by Xabi Alonso.

The real issue that Alonso underestimated is not the pressure, but the problems the team has. I think he thought it will be much easier from that perspective, Mbappe and Vinicius Junior and everything should be ok, but it isn't. Real Madrid is a powerful name, but with the players they now have I think they won't have a chance in La Liga against Barcelona, let alone in the Champions League.
If Xabi Alonso can't improve the mentality of Real Madrid players and choose a proper tactic, it can be true that they will fail against Barcelona in La Liga and fail in UCL again.

Many of those successful ones really have their broke stories and I believe most of them.
The majority of the successful businessmen came from zero to hero and that's all because of their life situation and they did well on overcoming it.
And their experiences have taught them a lot about life, investments and everything.
Indeed. No one suddenly becomes a successful person. It must be achieved after dealing with obstacles or challenges. Not sure that every successful person started from the zero level, but they must be the people who never easily give up. They could increase the level of their life standard because they do hard efforts. Nothing can be achieved if someone don't have a big intention to face the obstacles/challenges. Yep, they must also get important lesson from the experience.

Sepertinya memang bitcoin masih belum selesai dengan fase bullishnya. Dan sepertinya spekulasi kita semua untuk bisa melihat bitcoin mencapai harga yang lebih tinggi di tahun ini memang bisa tercapai.

Sekarang tujuan selanjutnya adalah diatas $120K USD. Dan mungkin dengan kecepatan ini harga tersebut bisa saja juga akan tercapai ditahun ini. Tapi untuk harga diatas 200K mungkin di bullrun selanjutnya.  Grin

How does changing your strategy affect you in gambling?
How good is it for long-term gambling results by changing strategies repeatedly?
It depends on what type of gambling games we play. If it is luck-based games, changing the strategy won't impact much. However it it is skill-based games, it may bring an impact. It is actually something normal to change the strategy in gambling even if I'm not sure it will have a significant impact for the long run. We know the luck factor will always take the main role in gambling.

Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

on 10/07/2025, 23:42:40 UTC
You're absolutely right, Juve must focus on Serie A This new season won't be easy For me, Roma is a clear candidate to excel and earn a spot in the UCL qualification , because it's a team that I saw had a lot of desire and motivation. It's something I like to see in teams That's why Juve can't and shouldn't be left behind.
The new season should be more challenging because all the teams are trying to be stronger. If Juventus still wants to compete for the title and stay in UCL zone, they must be stronger and perform more consistently in the next season. By the way, I don't see something special with Roma, this team is almost similar with Juventus. The problem of these teams that they couldn't play consistently in the whole season. If there is no change on these teams, I doubt if these teams can surprise us in the next season.

The good news for Juve is that MU is willing to reduce Sancho's transfer fees from 25 to the 15 due to the lack of demand. Hope they will take that opportunity to sign him from MU. I know Salary is the only problem, but as long as it's still below 200k per week. That's nothing for them.
The last time i heard Sancho rejected 135k weekly salary by Chelsea to stay. So they can start with 150k per week as their first offer for Sancho.
Is true Man United drops his transfer fees to €15m? TBH, it is very cheap price for a big player like Sancho. He is still young and has great skills. He only chooses the wrong team when he returned to Man United. I'm sure many teams interested to sign him very soon if Sancho wants to lower his amount of salary. Juventus must get the agreement in the near future if they really want to sign him. I think Napoli or another team will get a deal with Sancho if Juventus fails to sign him.

Seriously, I'm shocked at this move, I never expected this from Arsenal. It's like Arsenal has £50 million to spend on a winger but can't add up to that money in other to get a suitable striker, just wow. This is what I keep on complaining about Arsenal and people here thinks I hate them, lol. Arsenal is the only club that will chase a particular player from the beginning of the transfer window, giving all green lights and hopes to the fans that they will sign that player, only for them to fail in purchasing that player and opt for something entirely different. This is exactly one of those cases.
Arsenal probably has enough money to sign many players now. I heard they are getting close to sign Gyokeres. So besides signing Noni Madueke, Arsenal will also sign Gyokeres soon. You don't need to feel afraid of Arsenal capability to sign a top striker. If they can sign Madueke £50 million, they must have big money to sign a top striker. It is just about the time that Arsenal will announce a new striker. They are very aware that a new striker is a must for the next season.

These are valid reasons enough for Napoli to want to agree on a good fee with Galatasaray this summer so he can leave to avoid a situation where they will have to lose him for free or for a fee way smaller that whatever Galatasaray will be willing to pay now for his signature. In my opinion the right time to make it happen is now.
Galatasaray offer quite big transfer fees, they also want to pay Osimhen with good salary. It is a wise decision to make a deal with Galatasaray. Napoli gets huge money to sign new players, meanwhile Osimhen can join a proper team with expected salary. I agree if it is the right time to let Osimhen leaving Napoli to Galatasaray. It seems no another team which has the intention to make a higher offer.

Re: Is it due to skills or luck?

on 09/07/2025, 23:54:13 UTC
Gambling is all on luck; no matter how experienced a player is, if they do not have luck in their game, they cannot win. Because, even when some individuals go and have a better chance of winning for teams they know are really powerful by betting large sums of money, it is still all about luck.  In football, it is not always about powerful teams; some weak teams might surprise a good team by defeating them, and that’s up to today. I do not believe that gambling is solely based on knowledge or experience with sports.
For the luck-based gambling games, surely it is all about the luck. Roulette, lotteries, and dice are some of the gambling games that purely rely on the luck. Meanwhile betting, it still needs ability in analyzing the potential team to win the match. Even if the result sometimes can be unpredictable, mostly it is a bit predictable by analyzing some matters. It is not purely unpredictable as roulette, lotteries, and dice. Moreover if we compare with poker or blackjack, this requires certain skills. So, it is not purely luck but ability or skills also has the role to determine the winning chance.

Of course, if you play roulette or dice, it all depends on luck. But if you play poker or bet on sporting events, then a lot will depend on your skill. And the higher your skill, the more likely you are to win.
You're right. We can't generalize it. Some gambling games don't solely rely on the luck. Poker, blackjack, or betting requires skills/ability. There is no way that someone can win them if there is no skills/ability at all.

Maybe you dont know Real Madrid is an underdog team when they face a team like PSG. It was crystal clear that PSG will win Real Madrid.  Funny enough I was expecting more goals but the referee quickly ended the match without adding any extra time to avoid further humiliations to Real Madrid.
You are right. PSG is the favorite team in this match because PSG is the champion of UCL. UCL is the highest level of club football competition, winning it proves that PSG the strongest one now. Well, adding more extra time doesn't mean for a more goal of PSG only. Who knows Real Madrid can score a goal. I think this isn't a big deal because it is clear PSG winning the match already.

First it was Raúl Asencio who lost position, leading to the first goal and the Rudiger turnover gave Dembele the second goal. After then I stopped watching the game because there is nothing Real Madrid could do again to win.
I admit Real Madrid still has weak defense. Both Rudiger and Asencio got difficulty stopping PSG attackers. But it is not only about the quality of the players, Xabi also chooses the wrong tactics and the wrong players in the midfield line. I actually expected Xabi will put Camavinga-Valverde-Bellingham in the midfield line. Unfortunately, Xabi put Valverde as the right back and prefers Tchouaméni as a defensive midfielder. Also, he put Gonzalo García as an attacking midfielder. TBH, it is very strange tactic applied by Xabi Alonso.  Roll Eyes

By the way, it is the right decision to stop watching the match. As long as Xabi applied improper tactics, there is no way that Real Madrid can do against a strong team like PSG.

The match has ended, and they both played well, but I was thinking the match will be more difficult for Chelsea, but they dominated the match, and were able to score two goals in the match, that’s really a good one for Chelsea, joao pedro was able to score two goals for Chelsea, I will say Chelsea made a good signing because his performance was incredible today, seriously I was satisfied with the way he played today.
As I expected, Chelsea won the match.  Wink

No doubt Chelsea dominated the match, they have more quality players. What makes interesting in this match, João Pedro scored all the goals. This player actually just joined Chelsea. Surprisingly, he make a perfect debut in this competition. Now, Chelsea looks like having 2 great strikers (João Pedro, Nicolas Jackson).

That is correct, and that is also one big sad thing about all of this. People actually believe that they will enjoy it and some even use it as an excuse to continue their bad behavior. However it is not possible to enjoy it, biology does not let you. At best it will be a very short high feeling which will dissipate fast because of the addiction. That is also one of the reasons why big winners ruin their winnings, it does not feel good as they expected
Normal gamblers should enjoy the wins, meanwhile addicts probably can't enjoy it due to expecting more wins. That's why we must avoid addiction if we want to enjoy the gambling process. Also, we must be aware to keep thinking realistically. This will ensure us to not expecting something impossible such as winning every time.

And also the winning money goes to the wrong place. Empty and uncontrolled spending, which can lead to other addictions. For example, it can be alcohol addiction. I read about one such case. One family managed to win a lot of money. Several years passed and people were surprised by what happened to them. They became drunkards and drank away absolutely all the money. It was hard to believe, but this also happens.
This is related to the nature of the people. The family who become drunkards and spend all the winning money, they probably have bad nature. They may have no self-control, no future plan, and no financial management. If a family has no these things, it easily spends everything instantly.

Lately alot have being on going and Bitcoin have kept it solid stance in terms of price recovery and consistent positive signs, despite the many fomos of wars and other external news that created forces to impact global assets Price which Bitcoin is one of source, better still Bitcoin is able to keep the momentum by creating some form of positive price increase that suggests a rather bullish momentum, what can we say of the current Bitcoin price and which direction are we heading to?
I think we shouldn't be afraid with the war issue. It seems having no significant impact anymore. Even there is thousands of Bitcoin moving from dormant wallets, it also didn't bring significant impact to the Bitcoin price. Considering how Bitcoin price can survive quite well around $107k - $109k, I'm confident that we are in the positive direction. Bitcoin is still in the bullish track, we are heading the new ATH in the near future.  Smiley

Remember that the most common prediction is $150k. So with that I will also go with that prediction, it's a realistic and conservative estimates. Of course if we go higher than that then it's good to us. However, I don't want to get disappointed in the end that's why I will just stay with this price for now and then see how it goes in the last quarter of the year.
It is just a prediction, I personally don't expect much for $150k. I just expect the Bitcoin price to reach $120k - $130k zone at least. I think this is still possible because during this year, the highest percentage of Bitcoin price increase is still 14% (according bitcoinmonthlyreturn). It should be higher, I assume ideally it can be above 20%.

Re: I need a trade mentor

Is there a simple and easy way to learn trading, as you are saying? I don’t think so; trading is complex and is not easy to learn. You must focus and give trading enough time before you will be able to trade. However, since you don’t have anyone who can teach you trading physically, I think focusing on the YouTube videos and other links that have been provided for you will help you out in your trading journey.
It will be difficult if we want to master trading in a short time. However, if we want to learn it gradually and we are ready to spend time, I don't think it is very difficult. We must ensure we learn from the basic matters firstly. Just master every basic matter completely before we learn the further lesson. Learning something like strategy or analysis, should done after mastering the basic matters. In this way, everything will be easier. Even without a mentor, it shouldn't be too difficult if we learn it in a proper way.

We can use YT Videos or articles as the learning sources. But we must get them from trusted/reliable sources. Sometimes, this becomes a challenge because not every time we can get the expected learning materials from trusted sources.

However, a mentor is not bad, but in this forum you will hardly get that. There are so many ways to learn trading; you don’t really need a mentor before you start learning trading, but most newbies don’t understand these things. You all make it look like there must be someone to teach you trading physically.
Of course, having a mentor is actually not a bad way in learning trading. Unfortunately, it is difficult to get a trusted mentor (especially an online mentor). The most recommended one, we learn directly from a mentor nearby our home. This can ensure the mentor is a trusted person. If we are familiar with the mentor, we also can ensure his capability in teaching us. However, mostly the professional traders hide their identities. We may not be aware if there are professional traders nearby our home.

It's true that Allegri is a good coach that can bring milan back to winning ways but the fact is that you don't expect things to change in Milan just like that because this current Milan team is lacking behind in quality in so many ways so Allegri focus should be getting a good team that can be competitive in the league
It is undeniable that Allegri is a very good coach and has high potential to develop a club. But here, at AC Milan with its current condition, I am sure that if their target for the 2025/2026 season is not directly to win Serie A, there will definitely be this target, but the most important thing is to return to the UCL qualification for the coming season. because AC Milan really failed last season which only finished in 8th place.

As for winning Serie A, this will be very challenging, they have tough rivals like Napoli and also Inter Milan who are still that good in their current development. As for now, they have just managed to sign 1 player Samuele Ricci. We have to see other players who have been successfully signed because Allegru really has to rebuild the club much better.

Arsenal are close to signing Victor Gyokeres from Sporting, the Swedish international is their main target, so i don't believe any rumors linking Watkins to Arsenal, they might only be interested if the move for Gyokeres falls through, and it likely could, because the president of Sporting is a stumbling block to the deal.
Yes, you are right, so far, the most closed rumor to sign for Arsenal is Gyokeres after their successful signing of Zubimendi earlier. The agreement clause is around €65 million ($76.6m) based on the article that I read and this is so closed for done deal. Additionally, besides Gyokeres, Arsenal is also still working on negotiations with Real Madrid to sign Rodrygo closely, they also want to get that right winger to be on thier player lineup. Moreover, Real Madrid and Xabi have given the green light for Rodrygo to leave, as long as the fee is in line with their expectations. However, they are also facing challenges because on the other hand, rumors also say that SPG also wants him.

Positive mindset without having enough knowledge, no plans and research will just end up getting lost as normal. I don't think in any way being positive mindset help you to win in gambling, of course it will do in different things. But for a luck-based casino games, it doesnt work like that.
Agree. Positive mindset will only can help improving our confidence. But it won't raise the chance to win gambling games. Winning is mostly related to the luck and our ability in analysis/research. Sure, the plan is also supporting right way in gambling. With a good plan, we can avoid wasting funds carelessly and optimize the chance of winning. Even when we win the games, we can use it properly if we have a plan.

I saw a video of a couple who keep all of their lottery tickets, and after so many years of buying tickets, they have already spent millions (in our local currency), but they still never win. That is an example of why we should not be positive all the time.
They don't understand the nature of gambling. They assume having a lot of tickets can increase the chance of winning. Unfortunately, the main factor is their luck. If they have no luck, they will never win, no matter how many tickets they have.

We also need to analyze the situation to determine whether we have to push through or give up.
If we set the limit of our funds, we should have the time to stop. Sometimes analyzing the situation won't work well due to many factors. I think it is better to set up the allocation of the funds and stick with the plan. This is the most effective way to avoid an excessive way in gambling.
